I figured I would share with you all my favorite way to fix some awesome back straps.
Cut the straps into about 4" strips and place them into a dish so they can soak in marinate. What I use is a liquid seasoning called Dale's seasoning, This stuff is awesome on burgers, steaks, chicken and you name it. I pour the whole bottle of dales in the dish and then put in a little worshire sauce and a tad of liquid smoke, I also put maybe two table spoons of A1 steak sauce in there too. I let the straps soak for about 1.5" and then I take them out and lay them on a plate and give them a really good coating of garlic and black pepper and a little seasoned salt, next they go right to the grill, as I'm grilling them I keep rubbing some more marinate mixture over them to keep them from drying out. Once they have got a good dark carmel coating to them they are ready to eat. Everyone that has ever tasted my backstraps says that they are the best deer meat they have ever eaten. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed.

Those are probably OK Harley, but everyone know my backstraps are "the best you'll ever eat".
I leave them whole, full length. Make sure to trim any silver skin off. Pat them dry with a paper towel. Wipe them lightly with olive oil. Give them a good thick coating of a product called "grub rub" which is basically a brown sugar & spice mixture. Wrap them with bacon, tooth picked in place. Gotta cook em on charcoal in the Webber, it tastes better than a gas grill. Put them over hot coals and blacken the outsides pretty good. Internal temp only needs to hit about 140, as you want them rare. Take them off the grill and let them sit at least 10 minutes to "firm up". Slice them thin and chow down.
So good it will make you want to slap your momma !

Yeah ... I reckon I could choke down your recipe too.
Did an elk backstrap last evening.
My buddy and I think the state should start cross breeding our whitetails with wiener dogs, so they'd have 5' long backstraps.

Harley....I used to live about 35 minutes from the Dale's factory! That stuff is great on ANY wild game. Tell you what though....especially for marinating purposes, go to your local "dollar general" store and in their food section buy their liquid "steak marinade". Tastes EXACTLY like Dales....and doesn't cost $4 a bottle.

This sure sounds like a "backstrap challenge" to me! Only one way to settle this. I'll volunteer my time to be one of the judges, parson
